MotoGP™ rookie star Pedro Acosta has signed a new ‘multi-year’ deal that will see the young Spaniard back in orange at the KTM AG Factory Racing team for 2025! 🧡 Acosta, twice a world champion in the junior grand prix classes, has taken MotoGP by storm at the sister GASGAS Tech3 Racing squad this season. Starting this weekend’s Italian MotoGP sixth in the world championship as the top RC16 rider, with podiums in Portimao and COTA, Acosta will now move to the factory KTM team for 2025. ❝It was important to me to keep pushing with KTM, and to see the whole project and the story until now and how we have grown in racing. So, it’s nice to carry on for the future: getting in orange is like coming back home❞, Acosta said. KTM Motorsports Director Pit Beirer added: ❝It gives us great pleasure to announce this news. Pedro shows his speed and personality on the track, and it looks like this boy is winning a lot of new fans all around the globe.❞ Red Bull KTM team manager francesco guidotti hailed Acosta as a 'generational talent': ❝Pedro’s story is a rare one. We can almost call him a generational talent because of what he has achieved so far. It’s clear he is one of the hottest names in MotoGP now and for 2025 it will be interesting to see and work with him in a closer way.❞ With current Red Bull KTM rider Brad Binder already signed until 2026, Acosta should slot in alongside the South African, potentially at the expense of Jack Miller. Miller has said he is open to swapping places with Acosta and riding for Tech3, which also has factory-spec RC16s. #PedroAcosta #MotoGP #RedBullKTM #KTM #Racing #MotoGPRookie #FutureChampion #OrangeArmy #MotoGP2025 #RacingNews #469Motorsports
